The last time anyone saw the Miami Heat on the court, they were shooting better than 50 percent from the 3-point line to close out the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals.

Mike Miller led the way as Miami shot 14-of-26 from long-range in a 121-106 Game 5 win. The season ended on a high note from the outside, but that wasn’t always the case for the Heat. And, with two superstars who don’t shoot 3-pointers particularly well, Miami decided to bulk up on the on the perimeter.

Dwyane Wade took a break from his book tour to speak with the South Florida Sun Sentinel about Miami’s new weapons. He explained the approach he will take to maximize the skills of new threats Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, along with stalwarts Miller, Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers.

“My mind frame a lot would be when I get to the paint, when I attack, sometimes I'm going just to draw the defense, knowing I've got the shooters and I need to get my shooters shots,” Wade said to the Sun Sentinel. “I can always get my own shot. But when I'm in the game, my mindset is, 'OK, I need to get these guys going,' because they're going to get things open for everyone.”

Three-point shooting percentage was one of the few statistical categories in which LeBron James did not lead the Heat. While four Miami players shot better than 30 percent from outside the arc last season, it doesn’t hurt to add NBA's the all-time leader in 3-point shots made.

Allen managed to shoot 45.5 percent from beyond the arc last season, even as he struggled through an ankle injury that affected the lift on his form. Lewis wasn’t far behind at 38.5 percent.

Wade sounds excited to have more options on the outside, and he threw in a little warning for the Heat’s upcoming opponents.

"We've got a great bunch of guys to choose from," Wade said. "We've got some of the best 3-point shooters the NBA has ever seen. So it's kind of pick your poison."
